Product Review
"Essentially a ''how to'' text, the book functions as a step-by-step guide to teaching the written records of early modern women''s religious experience to undergraduate and graduate students. . . . [The text] provides an intellectually rich basis upon which numerous courses can be developed and countless themes explored. Inclusions of particular interest to instructors are the outline of suggested courses and pedagogy modules developed from the essays included in the text. . . . Teaching Other Voices . . . should be standard reading for anyone studying the social and religious history of early modern Europe. . . . Without exception, the essays included in the text deal with ''real life'' issues of teaching outside the standard narrative of European history. Not only are the individual discussions well organized and edited, but the supplementary information--teaching rubrics, study questions, classroom anecdotes--is invaluable."-Heather Sexton Graham, Comitatus (Heather Sexton Graham Comitatus )

"Undoubtedly this volume will aid anyone looking to engage students in early modern studies. . . . The essays present the religious, historical, and literary contexts for the texts and figures discussed, and describe how female figures and their texts can be used in diverse ways. Most valuable to readers will be the pedagogical insights and teaching methods put forth, as they are logical, creative, and student-centered."-Victoria L. Mondelli, Renaissance Quarterly (Victoria L. Mondelli Renaissance Quarterly )

Product Description
The books in The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe series chronicle the heretofore neglected stories of women between 1400 and 1700 with the aim of reviving scholarly interest in their thought as expressed in a full range of genres: treatises, orations, and history; lyric, epic, and dramatic poetry; novels and novellas; letters, biography, and autobiography; philosophy and science. Teaching Other Voices: Women and Religion in Early Modern Europe complements these rich volumes by identifying themes useful in literature, history, religion, women's studies, and introductory humanities courses. The volume's introduction, essays, and suggested course materials are intended as guides for teachers--but will serve the requirements of students and scholars as well.
